3 hr Workshop - Concurrent Programming on .NETThis is a crash course in concurrency on the .NET Framework platform, as it stands today (as of 3.5). It is broken into three segments. We'll begin with the foundational support that Windows and the CLR provide for multithreading, and then move on to how the thread pool abstracts away many resource management concerns. (We'll also see a sneak peek of the new ParallelFX library which makes many of these things simpler. A subsequent seminar goes into more detail.) The next segment describes the synchronization techniques and performance considerations you must make when coordinating multiple concurrent pieces of work. The third segment will then move onto some higher level patterns and best practices that emerge when writing parallel applications and algorithms. Attendees will walk away with a great bottoms-up understanding of the .NET Framework concurrency stack, with enough information to start using multicore processors today.
